Brazilian presidential and general elections 2022 (1st round: October 2nd, 2nd round: October 30th)

Datafolha showed a 5p lea for Lula in the 1st poll after the 1st round. Before the 1st round, Datafolha overrated Lula and underrate Bolsonaro. But in this 1st poll for the runoff, the pollster corrected the problem concerning the biased sample.

How?

Minister of Finance: Fernando Haddad
Former Minister of Education (2005-2011), former mayor of São Paulo-SP (2013-2016), losing candidate for president in 2018 and for governor of São Paulo in 2022. He has a BA in Law, MA in Economics and PhD in Philosophy at the University of São Paulo. Despite the MA in Economics, he was appointed because he is a politician and not because he is an economist. He will have a staff of economists working with him.
There used to be three different departments related to the economy in Brazil: Finance (Fazenda), Planning (Planejamento), Industry and Commerce (Indústria e Comércio). Presidents Fernando Collor (1990-1992) and Jair Bolsonaro (2019-2022) merged these departments into a single one, the Department of Economy (Ministério da Economia). Lula will split again.

Is there some ideological reason for the decision between three and one economy-related department?

"Government as employer" is the main ideology of the Latin American left.
